Shot On Location!

 

 

 (imdb)

DAWN OF THE MUMMY-1981-In ancient Egypt, a mummy is entombed with a curse placed on it to whoever tries to break in. In the modern day, a group of photographers and models go to the desert for a shoot while some grave-robbers look for an ancient treasure. After a lot of talk the mummy comes back to life and brings some other mummies with him. They turn out to be cannibals too. Later the mummy horde invades a wedding, killing and eating guests and the bride and groom. 

This was shot mainly in Egypt with too much talking, dark scenes and actors bellowing when scared. The director Frank Agrama also made QUEEN KONG (1976) and later was involved with the US production of the Japanese anime ROBOTECH.

I'd Rather Watch Konga!

 

 (imdb)

QUEEN KONG-1976-Inane British musical comedy take-off of King Kong, (the Dino DeLaurentis bomb was made the same year). A bitchy director (Rula Lenska) and her all female crew set out for Africa to film a movie. She "shanghaies" an imbecile con man Ray Fay (Robin Askwith) to be the star. Some "native" dancers sing "Kong! Kong! Kong!" but the director says it has no significance. Then like Linda Blair, their heads spin and they vomit pea soup. On the island of Nabongas, the chief (Valerie Leon; BLOOD FROM THE MUMMY'S TOMB) takes a liking to the imbecile Ray. Nearly unwatchable thanks to the purposely awful cliche script and tongue in cheek acting, a giant gorilla (man in a suit) does show up. Linda Hayden plays a singing nun. 

Director Frank Agrama made one movie after this, THE DAWN OF THE MUMMY in 1981. Much later he was involved in producing games and videos featuring the anime “Robotech”.
